The three-man production of Oh Zeus! is the latest creation by Le Navet Bete, a comedy theatre production company that retells classic stories.
UK comedy theatre company, Le Navet Bete has teamed up with comedy writer and director John Nicholson to present its take on Greek mythology, Oh Zeus!, on tour from March 2026.
When the stability of Olympus is threatened by the marriage of Zeus’ daughter Hebe to a mere mortal, the King of the Gods hatches a plan to derail the wedding.
Three actors play 40 characters in this mythical farce through Ancient Greece, the Underworld and back. Audiences can expect physical comedy, outrageous jokes, fast paced chaos, and more togas than you can smash a plate at.
The production will visit venues including Queen’s Theatre, Barnstaple, York Theatre Royal and the Lowry, Salford, with further dates and venues to be announced.
